Palworld Admin Commands & RCON Access
This guide covers how to set up admin access, authenticate as an administrator in-game, and use admin commands on your Palworld dedicated server. For initial server configuration and settings, see Palworld Dedicated Server Setup Guide.
Setting Your Admin Password
The AdminPassword is required to use any admin commands in-game or via RCON. This password is configured through GPanel, not by editing the config file directly.
- Log in to GPanel and select your Palworld server.
- Navigate to the Startup tab.
- Find the AdminPassword field and enter your desired password.
- Restart your server for the change to take effect.
AdminPassword must be between 1 and 30 characters and may only contain letters, numbers, hyphens (-), and underscores (_). Spaces and special characters are not allowed and will cause authentication failures.
AdminPassword in the INI file every time the server starts. Always set this value in the Startup tab.
Gaining Admin Access In-Game
Once your admin password is configured, you must authenticate each time you join the server.
- Open the in-game chat by pressing Enter.
- Type the following command, replacing the placeholder with your actual password:
/AdminPassword YourAdminPasswordHere
You will see a confirmation message if authentication succeeds. Admin privileges persist for the duration of your session and must be re-entered after disconnecting.
Admin Command Reference
All commands are entered in the in-game chat. You must be authenticated as admin first.

RCON Access
RCON (Remote Console) is always enabled on Legion Hosting Palworld servers. RCON lets you execute admin commands remotely without being connected to the server as a player.
To connect via RCON, you need:
- Your server's IP address
- The RCON port assigned to your server (visible in GPanel)
- Your
AdminPassword
Use any RCON client that supports the Source RCON protocol. The same admin commands listed above are available through RCON.
